[The Freedom Fighters are preparing to launch the Freedom Stormer, with Rotor at the helm. He grabs the steering and presses a button to start the plane up. Sally is sitting beside Rotor while Bunnie and Antoine are in the back seat.]

Rotor: Right rudder.

[The right rudder moves up and down.]

Sally: Check.

Rotor: Left rudder.

[The left rudder moves. Sonic, standing on the ground near the plane, watches.]

Sally: Check.

[Antoine looks around, then out the window, nervously.]

Bunnie: Antoine, tell me the truth; are you all afraid of flying?

Antoine: Moi? [Lies unconvincingly] Uh, I am a-scared of abso-toot-ly not one thing.

[Outside, Sonic gives Rotor a thumbs up.]

Rotor: Turn us loose, Sonic!

Sonic: Roger.

[Sonic runs over to a nearby tree, which has a rope tied to it holding the plane in place. He unties the rope and runs back to the plane, removing the blocks holding the wheels in place. As soon as he removes them, the plane starts to take off.]

Sonic: Good luck!

[The plane rolls down a hill in a very rickety manner, the tires hitting many bumps along the way. Inside, Antoine holds anxiously to the front seat with his eyes closed.]

Antoine: Magnifique! I love to fly so much like the birds and the bees. [Screams]

[The plane goes over a cliffside and falls down slightly, then begins to enter a downward glide, all the while with Antoine screaming.]

Sally: Rotor, what's wrong?

[Rotor is pulling on the throttle, but it isn't responding]

Rotor: Throttle's locked up! Gimmie a hand!

[Sally moves aside and tries to pull back on the throttle with Rotor, but it won't budge. The plane has now entered into a fall down a canyon.]

Sally: Come on, Rotor! Pull! Pull!

[They keep struggling, and eventually get the throttle to pull back, bringing the plane out of its fall and back into flight. They cheer in celebration while, nearby, Sonic is watching them with binoculars.]

Sally: Yes!

Sonic: Too close for the old comfort. Juice it loose time. [Charges up and runs off with a trail of fire to catch up to them]

[Scene Change: Great Mountains]

[The Freedom Stormer is in complete control by Rotor now and gliding along over the mountains. Sally looks at the holographic display of Maga.]

Antoine: Um, how far to Maga now, my Princess?

Sally: Maga should be right over this next mountain, Antoine. Oh, my...

[The group passes a couple of mountains and come upon one with a ton of rock structures on top of it. The group gasp in amazement.]

Antoine: Magnifique...

Sally: Oh; it's even more incredible than legend describes.

[They glide over the city as they move in closer to the ground. Antoine closes his eyes in fear.]

Bunnie: Woo-wee! Just look at that ground come rushing up to meet us. Looks like we're...

Antoine: [Covers his eyes] Bunnie! Will you please to be shutting up your own face?!

[They near the ground to stop, but the landing area ends at a cliffside.]

[As they get closer to the cliff, the rope that held the plane earlier to the tree dangles behind. Sonic catches up to them and runs behind the plane as fast as he can to grab the rope. He grabs it and attempts to run the other way, but struggles from the weight and movement of the plane.]

Rotor: Hey, we're slowing down.

[The plane stops right at the edge of the cliff.]

Rotor: Aw, man. Too close.

Sally: I thought...oh, never mind what I thought.

Bunnie: [Covers her eyes with her hands] Can Bunnie open her eyes now?

Sally: Yep. It's okay. We're safe.

[Bunnie looks around. She does a sigh of relief and looks around.]

Bunnie: My, oh my. Look at all that solid ground, Antoine.

[Whimpering is heard.]

Bunnie: Antoine?

[Bunnie turns around to see Antoine cowering away, hiding his head under the seat. As everybody is out of the plane, Sonic runs up to them.]

Sonic: Everyone cool?

[Bunnie helps Antoine out of the plane. He stands on the wing, emotionally scared and shaking.]

Bunnie: Antoine, you all look a little on the greenish side.

Sonic: For Ant, that's normal.

Antoine: [Snaps out of his fear] I 'ave never feeling more fine in my entire day!

[A bout of nausea kicks in, and Antoine covers his mouth with his hands. His face goes green as he tries to hold his dinner in. He runs away to take care of business away from the others.]

Sonic: Well?

Sally: Well, what?

Sonic: Aren't you going to thank me?

Sally: For what?

Sonic: For saving ya.

Sally: Sonic, we were in the plane. If we had gone off the cliff, we would be flying.

Sonic: [Taps his foot while thinking] Hmm. Good point. But where would ya land?

Sally: [Thinks, but is stumped] Oh. Good point. Thank you, Sonic.

Sonic: For what?

Sally: [Exasperated] Oh... [Gets frustrated and walks off]

[scene change: Maga]

[The group begin their journey through Maga, which is full of rock structures similar in style to that of Stonehenge. They stop at a spot and look at the sights in shock.]

Bunnie: That is truly amazin'.

Sonic: Yo, Sal. What's that? [Points to a large stone arrow against a rock cliff with words on it.]

Sally: The Arrow Stone. It marks the entrance to the ancient city.

[A large gust of wind can be heard that frightens Antoine. He goes between Sally and Sonic.]

[Sonic enters a Spin Dash and cuts through the hedge. The others follow his path. He cuts to the end and stops, waiting for the rest to catch up. They hear something and look back to see the hedge regenerate the damage caused by Sonic's Spin ash.]
